I am still going to play both versions of the game with my first run through being on Moon. Speaking of versions does anyone else find it odd we have yet to be made aware of the possibility of version exclusive pokemon? I remember back when X and Y were being hyped CoroCoro covered a few version exclusive pokemon including Spritzee and Swirlix, and also Skrelp and Clauncher? I wasn't sure if this would be appropriate under this thread or the new pokemon thread, I figured it was more along the lines of the versions of the game.

yeah now that you mention it, but then again we still have the rest of this month +3 months.

I should probably get around to preordering both soon, GAME have those figures as bonuses and I kind of want them...

The closest we have to a "bonus" at the moment in the US is the Amazon Exclusive Steelbook edition that comes with both games. I'm a tad upset since it seems we only get one steelbook while Europe (not sure about Japan) gets a corresponding steelbook for each version

Really? I didn't know amazon announced anything. I might just grab that since I know a friend of mine wants moon.

probably moon, as I like night/moon themed stuff and I don't care for sun legend (not really moon either, so, well...)
I suppose since I don't have a strong preference for the legendaries I could change my mind depending on version exclusives, but even those you can trade for and then breed...

I'll be picking Pokémon Sun on release, unless they somehow make every exclusive aspect of Moon better for me... Which I doubt.

Speaking of picking a version, I haven't found the use into pre-ordering one yet, but I was wondering if it was actually possible for stores to run out of stock on release date ? I don't think I've ever seen stores run out of recent Pokémon games but if anyone has instances saying otherwise, warn me so I can pre-order my copy right away!

i know running out on release date can happen, but I don't make a habit of going in to stores on the first day of a release and don't have the biggest social network, so I can't give you a specific instance from firsthand knowledge.

but as for preordering benefits, they often come with an additional collectible thing I think. like, my copy of diamond was preordered and I got a ds pen with a dialga on top with it.

I am picking up both games on release day. However I have a younger sister who also plays the games so I pick buy both games (she is still in college and has no money so I help her out). I get one game and she gets the other game. This time around I am getting Sun while she is getting Moon.

In the past, how soon before release are version exclusive pokemon usually revealed?

Prior to XY's release in October, Clauncher and Skrelp were revealed in June, but weren't confirmed as version exclusives until July. Prior to BW's release in September, Reuniclus and Gothitelle were revealed in June, but weren't confirmed as version exclusives until July.

Presumably, were one to apply those instances to Sun and Moon, we might feasibly see version exclusives confirmed either this month or next.
